Three Penny Mercantile was probably the most fun shop we visited throughout our Ashland…read moremini-vacation. From the get-go, the staff were welcoming and friendly, engaging us in conversation about all sorts of nonsense that had nothing to do with the shop, such as roller skates (which one of the ladies was wearing), sci-fi, and life in general. It was a nice personal touch that really endeared us to the store, and stands in stark contrast to the blasé, unaffected state of "customer service" we so often encounter at other shops. Everything in the shop oozed with unique or distinct design, hand-picked by the eye of someone with an eye for flair, flamboyance or fun. Prices were all very reasonable, which came as a surprise in a tourist town like Ashland. While my wife perused the clothing racks, I plumbed the various paperback books on the shelves, picked one out and walked away happy with my choice, for $5 bucks! Not intending to name drop, I asked the attendants if it was OK to take pictures for Yelp, to which they happily agreed, and seemed very thankful. So much so, in fact, that the owner (my guess) told me to pick out another paperback for free! Sometimes, there are perks! My wife also purchased a cute pair of key earrings. Another great perk about the shop was that it stayed open late...like, really late, compared to everything else but the bars. We walked by a few minutes to 11pm and the doors were still open, and music could be heard thumping from within. Had we not been en route to somewhere else, we probably would have popped in again, just to say hey! We'll definitely be making a return stop the next time we are in Ashland, if for no other reason than I'll likely be expected to provide a detailed review of the books I purchased!

I'm a big fan of popping in here on weekdays over weekends. There's so much stuff and not a ton of room so it's really rad when you snag an off-peak moment to peruse. There's a shop cat, Charlie, that I've never seen leave the comfy chair in back and the owner, Heather, who is coolAF and actually super young- which is not typically what you'd expect from the owner of an antique and odd art shop. There's jewelry, Knick knacks, LOTS of art, of course. Many originals and if Heather is there she can magically tell you the origin story of the art and artist for EVERYTHING in the shop... and there's like 3000 things in the shop. Like any antique shop, it can be hot or miss and there's often piles or cramped aisles but that's called having character in the antique biz (I don't actually know that, just guessing) and I feel right at home here.

Thrifting is supposed to make secondhand clothing affordable, not charge retail prices for used and donated items.

And, again pleasantly surprised, there was another store I have not spotted from the car. Between the coffee place and the shop on the corner is another store, I think, is an absolute must when visiting this part of town. For those who visit this might be a little 'off the beaten track.' Most people might go straight to Main Street and end up on "The Plaza,' but there's more to charming Ashland. I have a feeling one should almost be 'in the know' to end up on 4th street. Hence the face I'll review a few stores on this street. Being half Asian (Balinese to be precise) I was delighted to see 'Old World Artifacts, a name fitting to this store. It's like stepping into a different world, different south East Asian cultures combined with local art. Should you be in the area, I can highly recommend you to pay this store a visit. The owner, Franklin, is friendly and welcoming. No snobbish attitude I have often found in similar stores. Instead a man who loves to talk about his favorite places to visit and makes you feel at ease. My photographs will -hopefully- give an impression of the inventory of "Old World Artifacts." There's a plethora of artifacts from different Asian cultures. It feels like so much has been hand selected by Franklin on his travels. I heard him about Cambodia where he rode the bicycle; drop by to chat with this well-traveled man if you're interested in traveling to that part of the world and see what the culture has to offer. Not only Asian artifacts are for sale. When I walked in my eye instantly caught incredible art on the wall. It turns out thus is from local artist, Kat McIver. There's something deeply touching about her sculptures, they're all very different and I have added some pictures. I was told this artist works one day a week in this store. I saw big Buddha statues with a hefty price tag, which is totally justifiable and understandable knowing where it comes from. Having said that, I also saw rugs from turkey at a really great price for a good quality Turkish rug ($195 for a real Turkish rug is a steal). Being half Asian, half Dutch I'm aware of the prices of these rugs and I paid a lot more when living back home in Amsterdam. A set of locally made cards of $4. In other words: there's something for every budget. That's something I think is -especially in these times- a good thing. This store has only been open since October last year, so not too long. I will definitely be back on a regular base.

It's a consignment store NOT a thrift store; selection is based on the population selling their stuff. That being said, there are still some great finds for the under 40yr crowd. A LOT of jeans sizes 0-6. A decent selection for jeans size 6-14 and several racks for "plus sizes". Not a great variety of men's clothing. It's there, but slim pickin's. It's worth a visit just to check out the constantly changing inventory; new arrivals on the front racks. It feels better buying previously purchased clothing vs buying new and better for the environment too!! Today was a sale "buy 5 items, get 20% off your total" I'm a fan :D
